20. Calls upon States to support community workshops and discussion
sessions to enable communities to collectively explore ways to prevent and address
child and forced marriages, provide information through stakeholders who are
credible to the community, such as medical personnel and local, community and
religious leaders, regarding the harm associated with these marriages, give greater
voice to girls and ensure consistence of message throughout the entire community,
and encourage the much-needed strong engagement of men and boys;
21. Also calls upon States to support and implement, including with
dedicated resources, multisectoral policies and programmes that end the practice of
child and forced marriages and ensure the provision of viable alternatives and
institutional support, especially educational opportunities for girls, with an emphasis
on keeping girls in school through post-primary education, including those who are
already married or pregnant, ensuring physical access to education, including by
establishing safe residential facilities, increasing financial incentives to families,
promoting the empowerment of girls, improving educational quality and ensuring
safe and hygienic conditions in schools;
22. Further calls upon States to strengthen research, data collection and
analysis on the girl child, disaggregated by sex, age and geographical location, in
order to provide a better understanding of the situations of girls, especially of the
multiple forms of discrimination that they face, and to develop necessary policies
and programme responses, which should take a holistic approach to addressing the
full range of the forms of discrimination that girls may face, in order to protect their
rights effectively;
23. Urges States to take all measures necessary to ensure the full enjoyment
by girls with disabilities of all human rights and fundamental freedoms on an equal
basis with other children, and to adopt, implement and strengthen appropriate
policies and programmes designed to address their needs;
24. Urges all States to enact and enforce legislation to protect girls from all
forms of violence and exploitation, including female infanticide and prenatal sex
selection, female genital mutilation, rape, domestic violence, incest, sexual abuse,
sexual exploitation, child prostitution and child pornography, trafficking and forced
migration, forced labour and forced marriage, as well as marriage under legal age,
and to develop age-appropriate safe, confidential and disability-accessible
programmes and medical, social and psychological support services to assist girls
who are subjected to violence and discrimination;
25. Urges States to complement punitive measures with educational activities
designed to promote a process of consensus towards the abandonment of harmful
practices such as female genital mutilation and to provide appropriate services for
those affected by the practices;
26. Calls upon all States to enact and enforce the necessary legislative or
other measures, in cooperation with relevant stakeholders, to prevent the
distribution over the Internet of child pornography, including depictions of child
sexual abuse, ensuring that adequate mechanisms are in place to enable reporting
and removal of such material and that its creators, distributors and collectors are
prosecuted as appropriate;
27. Urges States to formulate comprehensive, multidisciplinary and
coordinated national plans, programmes or strategies to eliminate all forms of
discrimination and violence against women and girls, which should be widely
disseminated and should provide targets and timetables for implementation, as well
